Thing 4

Hello everyone,
I should have known that there would be a way to better facilitate the overwhelming amount of information out in the Internet "world". As I looked at other blogs in thing 2 and 3, I was concerned how I would be able to keep up with all the sites and posts. It is wonderful to see that there are systems to help us be more productive and organized as we attempt to utilize the latest information and Internet options. Using the reader will help to entice and enrich the educational experiences for our students.
Time management has always been a difficult area for me as I try and balance daily living. RSS will definitely help prioritize the information that I receive and allow me to better keep myself current with my posts and other's comments. Up until today, I have used the "old slow way" to interact with the Web. I look forward to seeing how I can use RSS to allow me to better utilize the Web. I will be curious to see if I can use reader not only for managing my blogs, but possibly other things like emails, new additions to topics of interest within favorite web sites, etc.
I enjoyed looking at the 3 sample readers used in this lesson, although I found that I easily got lost looking all the various links. It is exciting to see the possibilities in establishing a well organized reader.
I am enjoying this class. I wasn't sure I would like taking an on-line class rather than participating in a classroom setting. I guess this is all part of new horizons in my development. Have a nice evening. Gregory Jacoby
